Moving adventures

Tuesday was a big moving day. I don't know how many made the big move but supposedly 18 apartments were checked in to. I got there at the end of the day and was able to catch some to the typical things that went on.
Sorry the pictures aren't the best, it was the end of the day and I am a very amateur photographer with a cheap camera.
All the little stuff was quickly carried up stairs, then it was time to tackle the bigger more bulky stuff. The ladies were not to be out done. They grabbed a set of box springs and headed up. The first set of corners took only a moment to figure out the secret and in no time at all they had achieved their goal.
You can see the ladies in the upper set of turns. The men are just starting up with the mattress.

The really tough one was the sofa. It took about 20 minutes to complete the task at hand. The secret is to start with a LARGE, HEAVY sofa, round up 4 or 5 willing men and begin the adventure. the first flight was relatively easy then came the corners. They had to rest and discuss at each turn.
Despite the challenge they succeeded and the family was moved in and can now unpack.

Welcome to all the new families.

We are excited to get to know each of you.

Sunday mania

After church this last Sunday here is what was seen in the hall outside the bishop's office, lines of people filling out new member sheets.

and just around the corner there were more.

The Bishop tried to meet each of the new couples, but with there being so many it just wasn't possible.
Tuesday night he will attempt again, but there are suppose to be even more new ones move in then. Wow, the ward is growing and changing weekly, daily, hourly.

Friday memories (Okay so it's not really Friday anymore)

Okay, you get three because we (actually I) couldn't decide which to use. These are costumes from Halloween 2006. Like every year, some of the costumes were unbelievable. Jack Sparrow and his misses

Tevia, and wife and cuties Brielle

A punk and his babe

It was a fun evening and we are so appreciative of the effort of those who put it together.

Cupcake mania

The Enrichment activity tonight was a CUPCAKE MANIA. So very yummy and fun. First we had five different kinds of cupcakes, (all delicious, I know because I tried them all) and several types of frosting, top it off with every imaginable flavor of toppings.

So many choices, how can anyone decide

A lot of thought went into them

Creativity abounded

Deep concentration was required

Some required team work

Some serious consulting

The deciding was so hard

A sampling of the finished products

It was a great evening. Thanks for your hard work all who helped and participated.

Friday memories

In Rexburg, behind the middle school is a hidden lake/park. The ward had connections (thanks Anderson twins) and we held our Summer luau there, complete with Polynesian dancers and especially "Bob" who did a special perfomance for us. The lake included paddle boats, canoes, and a zip line. A beautiful evening was enjoyed by everyone. The Miller's taking the paddle boat for a spin.

Float Part II

A disposable camera and camera phone went on the float with them. Here a few of the photos. The Kimbles.

Part way down the float they stopped to enjoy the slide.

Because it was so chilly not many actually tried it.

Just a leisure float

Garners enjoyed it

they enjoyed the sights

At the end was a railroad bridge that had to be navigated.

They put in a call to Brother Broulim to come rescue them.

Despite it being a chilly day, most didn't get too cold.

Brother Rohrer took advantage of the warm road to to a deep warm.

It was fun.
